I'd call that "working around bugs in our broken build system". E.g. in hashdist you can't install without dependencies, as it would be guaranteed to NOT work. Previous build artifacts must never linger around if you install a package in a package manager that is worth its salt. The only sane way is to cache them separately outside of the install tree. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
